They don't call the parents to let them know anything and then they lie about it to make it seem like they did. They don't do their job Stearly the kids barely eat they don't be watching the kids and then they target families they feel like are easier to deal with, the owner never gets back to you when you have an issue especially when you want to go over the daycare providers of higher power she's always in a meeting are always so busy they can't never accommodate anything. The preschool learning program isn't really real all they do was color all day. The teachers need some real improvement, more instruction, more mind, stimulating things to do for their kids, not teachers that have been babysitting all their lives they couldn't even give me a phone call to notify me that Care was ending Staight cowards sent it via email was going to send a letter home with a child definetly calling corporate.

We brought our son there at 1yr of age and it has been one of our best parenting decisions yet. The staff has been caring, communicative and extremely helpful. The nap training alone has been worth it! I could write more and more, but mostly importantly, our child is happy, constantly learning and hasn't lost an ounce of his bright personality. The first drop offs are the hardest, but the 50th start feeling pretty freeing. A feeling you only gain with trust your child's in good hands. Thank You Kent Campus. It's been a good year!

From the infant room all the way up to the elementary school age kids, my 4 kids ABSOLUTELY enjoy their time here every day. I have 1 kid in the infant room, toddler room and lastly elementary. I have used this center as well as the previous Learning Land center on 256th street for a grand total of 5 years and counting. All workers here are diverse, friendly, informative, safe, empathetic, supportive, nurturing, patient, experienced and licensed. I would HIGHLY recommend this childcare center to all parents needing childcare over anybody and any other center. -Raya S-
